Distribution

There are data that place it throughout the Palaearctic area ( World Spider Catalog 2023), although most of the information corresponds to European countries. In the Iberian Peninsula, it has only been mentioned from three localities in Spain ( Carter 1984, Barrientos 1985, Barrientos et al. 2016). This is the first record for Portugal. It is considered a rare species that lives in sunny areas under stones and plant debris; however, it has been repeatedly captured in the Castro Verde area.
